Another Canadian, rapidly rising in the ranks is the 18-year-old Félix Auger-Aliassime. In 2015, he became the youngest player ever to hold an ATP ranking. Over the last few years, he has been casting a more and more favourable impression in the tennis world. He is currently ranked 28th by ATP. There is a general consensus among the experts in the game that there is no apparent weakness in Auger-Aliassime’s game. As a junior, he has won the US Open twice and has been a finalist in the 2016 French Open.

In the seniors' tour, he has already won four Challenger titles and two ITF Futures titles. Watch out for him as his favourite surface is clay. Moreover, in the year 2019, he reached the finals of the Rio Open and was a semi-finalist in the Miami Open - both played on clay courts.
